Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Just wall to wall shite news today. The citizenship rules change boils my blood. My wife got her citizenship only a few years ago and the process is already so draining & difficult to meet the requirements. It doesn't need to be any harder but Thick Jim has to make himself look tough so here we are 000
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 07/09/202615% on average but some are signigicant. It's a 35% increase for short fares for people paying with cash on buses within the city centre. Going from €2 to €2.70. Thats the increase that's most reprehensible in my mind - specifically targeting people paying cash who are trying to get around town. 083
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I didn't expect for this point to be proven in *checks notes* .... two weeks. And for it to be even worse than I feared - religious conservatives want to roll back the progress women's sports have achieved as a result of Title IX and effectively cut off women's pathways to competitive sports 031
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 27/06/2026First Pride in many years I haven't been out or gone to the march but at least it's for a good reason! 🏠 ➡️ 🏠 Happy Pride to everyone out there, whether you got to celebrate in those beautiful crowds or not, from our house to yours! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ 060
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Once again, I wish to speak to the 1273 people in Galway West who voted for Helen Ogbu and then gave their second preference to Noel Thomas??? Explain yourselves 020
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I want to speak to the 180 people who gave their second preference to Janet Horner but voted for Gerry Hutch. Someone explain to me the mental gymnastics there. 041
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026First problem with this argument: Michael McDowell isn't a decent person. 001
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Also the big bang of this fella from the quote "it’s a very difficult time in Ireland to make money" 060
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 18/04/2026My grandad was born 100 years ago on Monday and I've been so excited for ages to see if he pops up on the 1926 census. Just found him now. 1 week old. The census is deadly lads 010
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 19/03/2026They did the same on this road to all the trees recently despite there being no power lines anywhere on the street. It seems to simply be a policy for tree management - cut the bejaysus out of them every few years and never let them mature to the kind of tree cover highlighted in the original post 020
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 19/03/2026This was courtesy of @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social and Redwood Tree Services Ltd on Feb 9th on Our Lady's Road in Maryland, Dublin 8. 010
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Meanwhile in Dublin - @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social insists on "pruning" trees to take them back to stumps. No idea what their logic is but I have a few guesses 67812
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Look maybe I am a nerd who has been thinking about this possibility for years, and maybe I discovered Scribble Maps before xmas and can't stop drawing imaginary train lines, but both of those things mean I have a possible ready drawn solution for you that avoids Beauforts Dyke. But it's more tunnels 220
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 06/02/2026The Slaney rises in the Wicklow mountains, on Lugnaquilla in fact. Out of interest I took a look on Google maps last week to track it's early course. As expected, the river begins in an area that is completely barren and that has no trees or other types of plant life except grasses 100
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 05/01/2026This whole paragraph but particularly the line "Only an inclusive political process, led by Venezuelans, can lead to a democratic and sustainable solution that respects human dignity" Is what every European leader should have been loudly shouting since Saturday. 010
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 05/10/2025I imagine Bertie currently feels as miserable as he looked in this picture. It brings me immense joy. 010
Laura @takeithandy.bsky.social · 10/06/2025It makes sense that it's Hugh Linehan who decides he wants to be the person to import UK style culture war issues into Ireland. 🙄 Hugh, read the room - this nasty "debate" about people's rights has been roundly rejected by Irish feminists and guarded against by the LGBT+ community. Follow our lead. 020
